Abstract

This study assessed a culturally inspired learning framework based on Malay values (e.g., gotong royong, hormat, kesopanan) to enhance middle school students’ higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Using a quasi-experimental, mixed-methods design, 120 students (ages 12–14) participated in an eight-week intervention. A 30-item HOTS questionnaire (Cronbach’s α = .87 pre, .91 post) measured analysis, creativity, and critical thinking. Paired t-tests showed significant gains in overall HOTS scores from 58.0 (±9.4)% to 78.0 (±8.1)% (t(119)=18.2, p < .001, d = 1.66), with large improvements across all subdomains (Δ20–23 pp, d > 1.5). Qualitative analyses of interviews, observations, and teacher journals revealed themes of cultural relevance, sustained motivation, collaborative reflection, and skill transfer to home contexts. Findings demonstrate that integrating Malay values as cognitive scaffolds substantially enhances students’ HOTS and offers potential for broader application in multicultural educational environments.
